Reflection - A new language
On Pentecost day the apostles spoke a new language.
What was this new language? It was the language of
peace rather than war; the language of co-operation
rather than competition; the language of forgiveness
rather than vengeance; the language of hope rather
than despair; the language of tolerance rather than
bigotry; the language of love rather than hate.
Through the gift of the Spirit, people
of different languages learned to profess one faith,
to the praise and glory of God. That is the real miracle
of Pentecost, - which, thankfully, still happens.
Deaths
We pray for the recently deceased:
Susan Duffy, 4 Windmill Heights;
Mary Francis, 16 Loughview Drive;
Bernadette Burns, Lurgan;
Patrick Williams, Water Street and
Kent. May they rest in peace.
